I ran across this on facebook.... star wars not nintendo related but I thought the rant was good for a chuckle
===

I'm sorry...i just...i just have to comment...

The vintage Star Wars preproduction market has been out of control for a while. It seems as though in the past few years a bunch of newcomers have been jumping on board and, unable to get the good stuff because is virtually all locked up, they started burying their heads in the sand, making way too much out of crap like EPs, paying silly sums for virtually anything remotely considered Kenner pre-production, bro-bumping and fingerbanging themselves on Facebook, and learning absolutely nothing along the way.

This...this is, in my opinion, the crown jewel of stupidity in this hobby. To whoever bought this...bro, you're a twat, bro.

WTB Cdn sealed black boxes, sealed Cdn first party titles. I.e. the "mattel" Cdn boxes with both french and english. Mainly black boxes, zelda, link, and tyson, but let me know what you have. I am interested in anything I don't already have!

Follow the link... somebody paid $800 for a ziplock bag just because it USED to contain prototype star wars coins. Empty plastic bag.

Sorry, to be clear, my response was after doing just that. Absolutely nuts.

3 positive feedback, fairly sure they did not complete the transaction...

HOWEVER, a guy with over 1700 feedback put a max bid of over 90 bucks?

For a plastic bag?

That has handwriting on it similar to my 3 year old's?

Yep, some big old twats (or crafty consumers if you are the seller) out there!

This two foot long sheet of plastic used to store inside it the original box art for Flintstones 2. So much so, that the art light a light impression on the plastic and you can see elements of the art on the plastic itself.

Ask is $100,000

Yeah I knew about this before and thought out of all the dumb requirements in "full set" collecting these days, that one will be very hard to top. If I collected SMS I'd just obtain the Euro copy...

I collect hockey games for all consoles and PC, see my WTB thread here for my complete checklist, or check out my latest pick-ups for the collection

PSVR I maintain a list of physical PSVR releases from all regions over at Playstation-Collecting.

I always thought it was stupid. It's the exact same thing except there's a sticker on the back. A sticker that could very easily be faked
